A new method for the determination of electric signal time-shifts is introduced. As the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, it is based on the comparison of the cumulative distribution functions of the reference signal with the test signal. This method is very fast and thus well suited for on-line applications. It is robust to noise and its performances in terms of precision are excellent for time-shifts ranging from a fraction to several sample durations.

A new data analysis method is developed for the angle resolving silicon telescope introduced at the neutron time of flight facility n_TOF at CERN. The telescope has already been used in measurements of several neutron induced reactions with charged p articles in the exit channel. The development of a highly detailed method is necessitated by the latest joint measurement of the $^{12}$C($n,p$) and $^{12}$C($n,d$) reactions from n_TOF. The reliable analysis of these data must account for the challenging nature of the involved reactions, as they are affected by the multiple excited states in the daughter nuclei and characterized by the anisotropic angular distributions of the reaction products. The unabridged analysis procedure aims at the separate reconstruction of all relevant reaction parameters - the absolute cross section, the branching ratios and the angular distributions - from the integral number of the coincidental counts detected by the separate pairs of silicon strips. This procedure is tested under the specific conditions relevant for the $^{12}$C($n,p$) and $^{12}$C($n,d$) measurements from n_TOF, in order to assess its direct applicability to these experimental data. Based on the reached conclusions, the original method is adapted to a particular level of uncertainties in the input data.
The Shape method, a novel approach to obtain the functional form of the $gamma$-ray strength function ($gamma$SF) in the absence of neutron resonance spacing data, is introduced. When used in connection with the Oslo method the slope of the Nuclear L evel Density (NLD) is obtained simultaneously. The foundation of the Shape method lies in the primary $gamma$-ray transitions which preserve information on the functional form of the $gamma$SF. The Shape method has been applied to $^{56}$Fe, $^{92}$Zr, $^{164}$Dy, and $^{240}$Pu, which are representative cases for the variety of situations encountered in typical NLD and $gamma$SF studies. The comparisons of results from the Shape method to those from the Oslo method demonstrate that the functional form of the $gamma$SF is retained regardless of nuclear structure details or $J^pi$ values of the states fed by the primary transitions.
We investigate the statistics of the cosmic microwave background using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. We show that, when we correctly de-correlate the data, the partition function of the Kolmogorov stochasticity parameter is compatible with the Kolmogo rov distribution and, contrary to previous claims, the CMB data are compatible with Gaussian fluctuations with the correlation function given by standard Lambda-CDM. We then use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to derive upper bounds on residual point source power in the CMB, and indicate the promise of this statistics for further datasets, especially Planck, to search for deviations from Gaussianity and for detecting point sources and Galactic foregrounds.

Differential measurements of particle collisions or decays can provide stringent constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. In particular, the distributions of the kinematical and angular variables that characterise heavy m e- son multibody decays are non trivial and can sign the underlying interaction physics. In the era of high luminosity opened by the advent of the Large Hadron Collider and of Flavor Factories, differential measurements are less and less dominated by statistical precision and require a precise determination of efficiencies that depend simultaneously on several variables and do not factorise in these variables. This docu- ment is a reflection on the potential of multivariate techniques for the determination of such multidimensional efficiencies. We carried out two case studies that show that multilayer perceptron neural networks can determine and correct for the distortions introduced by reconstruction and selection criteria in the multidimensional phase space of the decays $B^{0}rightarrow K^{*0}(rightarrow K^{+}pi^{-}) mu^{+}mu^{-}$ and $D^{0}rightarrow K^{-}pi^{+}pi^{+}pi^{-}$, at the price of a minimal analysis effort. We conclude that this method can already be used for measurements which statistical precision does not yet reach the percent level and that with more sophisticated machine learning methods, the aforementioned potential is very promising.
The irreversibility of trajectories in stochastic dynamical systems is linked to the structure of their causal representation in terms of Bayesian networks. We consider stochastic maps resulting from a time discretization with interval tau of signal- response models, and we find an integral fluctuation theorem that sets the backward transfer entropy as a lower bound to the conditional entropy production. We apply this to a linear signal-response model providing analytical solutions, and to a nonlinear model of receptor-ligand systems. We show that the observational time tau has to be fine-tuned for an efficient detection of the irreversibility in time-series.
